Our Tour of the Labor and Delivery Floor

Sunday evening, Steve and I had the pleasure of touring the hospital birthing center. I got to try out the bed, the bathroom, some needles, and drugs. They sure know how to make you feel at home. After suffering from a headache and vomiting for 24 hours plus, I decided I couldn't take the pain anymore. We checked into the ER because I was only looking for some pain relief and never expected to see the birth center. But of course, we were sent to labor & delivery. My poor husband was so nervous and stressed. I kept telling Steve it's not like we're having this baby today. I just need some relief and to check on our sweet little one. We spent about 6 hours at the hospital. You would think 2 doses of morphine would of killed this headache but no such luck. Oh well, at least the baby checked out fine and the nausea meds worked well. After a few rounds of fluids and some percocet, we were on our way. We had a wonderful nurse and our OB was even there. I bet that doesn't happen when we're ready to give birth. I still had a difficult time on Monday, the headache and vomiting reappeared. However, with the help of a blessing by Steve and dad, I was much better on Tuesday. I'm still feeling pretty weak but at least I can eat again.
